Types of Camping

Troop Camping

Troop camping is when troops reserve a site at one of our GSNEO
camps and stay one night or more. Each camp has something special to
offer. Check out the Faces and Places guide to see what programs are
offered at camp. While at camp, many troops enjoy Council sponsored
programs when available, work on badges, a Journey, go hiking, and
just enjoy being at camp!

The Council has camp properties which provide many opportunities for
resident, day and troop camping as well as host many Council programs.
A summer camp brochure, The Summer Camp Guide, is distributed in the
spring with information on summer programs, dates, locations and age
requirements.

Council-Sponsored Resident Camping

Summer is Resident Camp time! Resident Camp is an overnight camping
experience in which campers live at either Camp Ledgewood or Camp
Timberlane. Girls sign up as individual campers or go with a buddy.
The girls and their counselors/leaders plan activities, taking
advantage of the resources available at the campsite. All summer
resident staff are specially trained. Resident Camp opportunities are
listed in the Summer Camp Guide available in February.

Day & Twilight Camping (Community Day Camp)

Day and Twilight Camping is generally a summer program run for three
to five days for no more than seven hours per day under the approval
and direction of GSNEO. This creative outdoor experience is generally
theme based creating a common thread for the activities. Girls may
sign up as individual campers or go with buddies and are put in units
of peer group living. The council assists with training the staff and
approving the facilities and site. A day/twilight camp may be at a
council-owned or approved site. Day and Twilight Camp opportunities
are listed in the Summer Camp Guide, available in February.
